I wasn't sure how my left knee was going to hold up for this long run but I just decided to take it a mile at a time and see how it goes. I headed out towards mini GU corner and then I ran into Pat and Kent and the boys and I ran with Kent up to the top of Harry's, he was taking it easy thank goodness, and then I ran from there down to the stake center and then out to GU corner. The pace was up beat and I had some MP miles in there, well they were about 30 seconds slower than my actual MP but close enough, I could feel my knee on the downhill but once I got back on the flat it really didn't bother me much so that was pretty cool. On my way back home I ran into Michelle and we spoke for a minute and she seemed to be doing really well, it's good to see her back at it and she gets to start running next week which is cool;-) My average pace was 8:38 with my HR average at 144, total time was 2:05:33. I came home and made me some Bacon and Eggs and boy was it delicious, yummy! I feel pretty good about today, I felt like I could have ran more so that is encouraging, I plan to slowly build each Saturday and hopefully get to a 20 miler 3 weeks before the Marathon, then I will have a better idea of where I am at.
See ya Monday. |
